Im not scared by scary clown man or whatever but am much more affected by ideas and themes in films i wouldnt have been as a kid. Found Rosemaryā€™s Baby deeply unsettling the last time I watched it whereas I thought it was boring when I first saw it coz there was no obvious ā€˜horrorā€™ in it.

Youā€™re wrong, sorry

People did claim that they were afraid in the shower after Psycho.

Asked if doing the book has somehow eased her fear of showers, Ms. Leigh laughed. ā€œI have absolutely no intention of stepping into a shower,ā€ she said.

Iā€™m not sure modern adult viewers of Jaws are going to be affected the same way either. @NoahVale how old were you when you saw Jaws?

I chose those three films because they all explore, in excruciating detail, just how cruel and inhumane people are capable of being. Talk all you want about how things are only scary if theyā€™re ā€œvisceralā€ and ā€œpsychologically scarringā€ - but as far as Iā€™m concerned, thatā€™s a concept that will never stop being scary.

Well shut my mouth!

This is a fair point. Okay, there are still going to be definite adult things that can likely scare the hell out of you, although I donā€™t know how much they stay.

You have swung me towards this point of view here. This also implies a lot of films need to go for different angles, I guess.

Stop making horror films guys

Iā€™ll be clear that I am not necessarily laying much credence by these claims. These were the things that were said at the time the film came out. Itā€™s hard to judge how much were, in todayā€™s terms, trolling or studio-pushed astroturfing type of stuff. But I can imagine there definitely were people who took showers without ever drawing the curtain again and with the door always locked or something. I think the film did things no one had considered before.

Silly, jump-scare nonsense isnā€™t scary to me anymore, but I find films like Eden Lake and Green Room stay with me. So I guess Iā€™m scared of being somewhere a bit remote and things going very murdery.

itā€™s ok, thatā€™s unlikely to happen for at least another couple of years

I hope you are happy with the subtitle I gave you, Iccy-Smiccy.

Oh, just life and death and stuff

just getting older and more isolated really, itā€™s already happening.

I donā€™t want my arm to get chopped up by Neo Nazis.

OMG me neither!

Just a couple of things really
Wasps
& nuclear war

Therefore my biggest fear is that I will somehow end up drifting in post-apocalyptic landscape where itā€™s me versus the radioactive mutant immortal wasp armies
